Customer told us that there are some options, such as towels, that have
a fixed price for the whole stay, not a per night price. Thus, had to
add a boolean to know whether to use sum or max when computing the
cart’s total for each option.
It is a separate relation, instead of having a field in campsite_type,
because not all campsite types allow dogs. I could have added a new
field to campsite_type, but then its values it would be meaningless for
campsites that do not allow dogs, and a nullable field is not a valid
solution because NULL means “unknown”, but we **do** know the price —
none.
A separate relation encodes the same information without ambiguities nor
null values, and, in fact, removed the dogs_allowed field from
campsite_type to prevent erroneous status, such as a campsite type that
allows dogs without having a cost — even if the cost is zero, it has to
be added to the new relation.
Besides the dynamic final cart, that was already handled by HTMx, i had
to check the maximum number of guests, whether the accommodation allows
“overflow”, whether dogs are allowed, and that the booking dates were
within the campground’s opening and closing dates.
I could do all of this with AlpineJS, but then i would have to add the
same validation to the backend, prior to accept the payment. Would not
make more sense to have them in a single place, namely the backend? With
HTMx i can do that.
However, i now have to create the form “piecemeal”, because i may not
have the whole information when the visitor arrives to the booking page,
and i still had the same problem as in commit d2858302efa—parsing the
whole form as is would leave guests and options field empty, rather than
at their minimum values.
One of the fieldsets in that booking form are the arrival and departure
dates, that are the sames we use in the campsite type’s page to
“preselect” these values. Since now are in a separate struct, i can
reuse the same type and validation logic for both pages, making my
JavaScript code useless, but requiring HTMx. I think this is a good
tradeoff, in fact.
I have to ask number and age ranges of hosts of guests for all campsite
types, not only those that have price options for adults, children, etc.
because i must compute the tourist tax for adults. These numbers will
be used to generate de rows for guests when actually creating the
booking, which is not done already.
To satisfy the campsite types that do have a price per guest, not only
per night, i had to add the prices for each range in the
campsite_type_cost relation. If a campsite type does not have price
per person, then that should be zero; the website then does not display
the price.
The minimal price for any campsite type is one adult for one night,
thus to compute the price i need at least the campsite type, the dates,
and the number of adults, that has a minimum of one. I changed the
order of the form to ask for these values first, so i can compute the
initial price as soon as possible. To help further, i show the
<fieldset>s progressively when visitors select options.
Had to change the link to the current language version of the page by a
button, to prevent following a link when trying to expand the submenu.
At first i did this with an `onclick="return false"` bullshit, but the
link was the wrong thing to do here, and it was there only to satisfy
Google et al. They will have to with the links in head.
Also made the link and buttons larger to make it easier to hit them with
finger.
Customer told us that the minimum number of nights is per campsite type,
not per season. And he wants this, along with the maximum number of
nights, in order to limit the range of departure dates that guests can
choose when booking.
It seems that we have to highlight the map zones too. On the previous
website, they had a mouseover effect that displayed a tooltip, but here
we can not do that because we use the mouse to select accommodations.
This is just a test to see whether Oriol likes how it is shown, thus the
red is likely to change to something else more pleasant to look at.
The “overflow” is for when people want to book plots for more guests
than is permitted, which the system would need to add a new plot to the
“shopping cart”, as it were; not implemented yet.
The ask zone preferences is to whether show the corresponding input on
the booking form, that it was done implicitly when the campsite type had
options, because up until now it was only for plots, but it is no longer
the case, thus i need to know when to show it; now it is explicit.
This is more or less the same as the campsites, as public information
goes, but for buildings and other amenities that the camping provides
that are not campsites.
A small page with a brief description, carousel, and feature list of
each individual accommodation.
Most of the relations and functions for carousel and features are like
the ones for campsite types, but i had to use the accommodation’s label
to find them, because they do not have slugs; i did not even though
these would be public, and they already have a label, although not
unique for all companies, like UUID slugs are.
It is virtually impossible to see when such a field fails prior to
submit the form, unless you happen to have the correct language selected
at the time.
Leave it to the backend’s validation for now.
Apparently, each campsite type could have different check-in and
check-out times, thus i need them in the database.
I thought about using an integer or a datetime field, but customer seems
to want a text field to maybe add “before” and “after” there as well.
Translatable text it is.
I also changed the translatable link to not include any HTML, because it
meant that i had to retranslate them just to add a new attribute, that
does not make much sense—the attribute is not even translatable, thus
all translations must include it verbatim.
I tried to use ../, and ../../ to make the routes relatives, but it
would not work well because the same page would have two URLs, one
ending with slash and another without, and the relative links would be
different on each case.
This is mostly because it is required for the “Digital Kit”, but it also
works in our favor because now i can version the URL to the static
resources.
Go 1.18 adds the info from git if the package is build from a git
repository, but this is not the case in OBS, so i instead relay on a
constant for the version number. This constant is “updated” by Debian’s
rules, mostly due to the discussion in [0].

It is for people aged 17 or olded, not 16. I was confused by the
expression “over 16”, that **seems** to mean 17 or older, but actually
includes people aged 16, too.
There is no way, for now, to add, edit or remove users, because
currently we only need to list users.
I can not give admins access to the user table, for security
permissions, so i had to create a new view. I could name it also ‘user’
in ‘camper’ scheme, but then i was afraid i would have problems with
unit tests and their search_path, so instead i called it
‘company_user_profile’, which is like ‘user_profile’ but for all users
in ‘company_user’.
I created a new Go package for it, rather than add the admin handler in
‘auth’, because ‘template’ depends on ‘auth’, and rendering from ‘auth’
would cause a dependency loop.
I needed to have the roles in gettext to translate them, but there is
no obvious place where to put the call to PgettextNoop. For now, there
are in ‘NewAdminHandler’ because it is called once in the application’s
lifetime and they actually do not matter much.
This is a separate carousel from the one displayed at the bottom with
location info; it is, i suppose, a carousel for the hero image.
For the database, it works exactly as the home carousel, but on the
front had to use AlpineJS instead of Slick because it needs to show a
text popping up from the bottom when the slide is show, something i do
not know how to do in Slick.
It now makes no sense to have the carousel inside the “nature” section,
because the heading is no longer in there, and moved it out into a new
“hero” div.
Since i now have two carousels in home, i had to add additional
attributes to carousel.AdminHandler to know which URL to point to when
POSTing, PUTting, or redirecting.
Customer does not want the new “masonry-like” design of the surroundings
page, and wants the same style they already had: a regular list with
text and photo, alternating the photo’s side.
And, of course, they want to be able to add and edit them themselves. It
is like another carousel, but with an additional rich-text description.
The photos that we had in that page are no longer of use.
The pets icon is just the same as the notpet but without the diagonal
bar.
The price is hardcoded in the query for now, as there is no field
in the campsite type.
Customer does not want a contact page, but a page where they can write
the direction on how to reach the campground, with a Google map embed
instead of using Leaflet, because Google Maps shows the reviews right
in the map.
That means i had to replace the GPS locations with XML fields for the
customer to write. In all four languages.
This time i tried a translation approach inspired by PrestaShop: instead
of opening a new page for each language, i have all languages in the
same page and use AlpineJS to show just a single language. It is far
easier to write the translations, even though you do not have the source
text visible, specially in this section that there is no place for me
to put the language links.
I use Sortable, exactly like HTMx’s sorting example does[0]. Had to
export the slug or ID of some entries to be able to add it in the hidden
input.
For forms that use ID instead of slug, had to use an input name other
than “id” because otherwise the swap would fail due to bug #1496[1]. It
is apparently fixed in a recent version of HTMx, but i did not want to
update for fear of behaviour changes.

Had to change setup_redsys because admins can not read the current
encrypt key, thus it is not possible to `set encrypt_key =
coalesce(…, encrypt_key)`.
Not that it did much sense, anyway, as i was already inside the branch
of the if when encrpty_key is null.
However, it seems that this also affects in the `on conflict` update. I
assume this is because `excluded` is some kind of row of the relation
and has the same restrictions.
Every company need to have its own merchant code and encryption key,
thus it is not possible to use environment variables to keep that data,
and i have to store it in the database.
I do not want to give SELECT permission on the encryption key to guest,
because i am going to fuck it up sooner or later, and everyone would be
able to read that secret; i know it would. Therefore, i need a security
definer function that takes the data to encrypt, use the key to encrypt
it, and returns the result; nobody else should have access to that key,
not even admins!
By the way, i found out that every merchant receives the same key, thus
it is not a problem to keep it in the repository.
Since i need that SQL function to encrypt the data, i thought that i may
go the whole nine yards and sign the request in PostgreSQL too, after
all the data to sign comes from there, and it has JSON functions to
create and base64-code an object.
Fortunately, pg_crypto has all the functions that i need, but i can no
longer keep that extension inside the auth schema, because it is used
from others, and the public schema, like every other extensions, seems
more appropriate.
Instead of having the list of currency and language codes that Redsys
uses as constants in the code, i moved that as field to the currency
and language relations, so i can simply pass the lang_tag to the
function and it can transform that tag to the correct code; the currency
is from the company’s relation, since it is the only currency used in
the whole application (for now).
As a consequence, i had to grant execute to currency and the parse_price
functions to guest, too.
To generate the test data used in the unit tests, i used a third-party
PHP implementation[0], but i only got from that the resulting base64-coded
JSON object and signature, using the same that as in the unit test, and
did not use any code from there.
PostgreSQL formats the JSON as text differently than most
implementations i have seen: it adds spaces between the key name and
the colons, and space between the value and the separating comma. The
first implementation used replace() to format the JSON as exactly as
the PHP implementation, so that the result matches, and then tried to do
generate the form by hand using the output from PostgreSQL without the
replace(), to verify that Redsys would still accept my input. Finally,
i adjusted the unit test to whatever pg_prove said it was getting from
the function.
I still have the form’s action hard-codded to the test environment, but
the idea is that administrators should be able to switch from test to
live themselves. That means that i need that info in the redsys
relation as well. I think this is one of the few use cases for SQL’s
types, because it is unlikely to change anytime soon, and i do not need
the actual labels.
Unfortunately, i could not use enumerations for the request’s
transaction type because i can not attach an arbitrary number to the
enum’s values. Having a relation is overkill, because i would need
a constant in Go to refer to its primary key anyway, thus i kept the
same constant i had before for that. Language and currency constant
went out, as this is in the corresponding relations.
In setup_redsys i must have a separate update if the encrypt_key is null
because PostgreSQL checks constraints before key conflict, and i do
not want to give a default value to the key if the row is not there yet.
The problem is that i want to use null to mean “keep the same password”,
because it is what i intend to do with the user-facing form: leave the
input empty to keep the same password.
As now Go needs to pass composite types back and forth with PostgreSQL,
i need to register these types, and i have to do it every time because
the only moment i have access to the non-pooled connection is in the
AfterConnect function, but at that point i have no idea whether the
user is going to request a payment. I do not know how much the
performance degrades because of this.
